Claude should play SE4. He'll beat your fleet of 50 dreadnaughts using 3 escorts armed with DUC's.

I just think my friend Claude's karma is dice based while mine is pixel based. This would explain why I'm good at computers and he is good at dice.

with this anaolgy, what kind of karma would you all say you have? (you must all be good at something.

)

Cheers!

I was incredibly lucky at Backgammon and Yahtzee until they made me use the cups.
I'm not sure just how my hands could make such a difference....

It's not the hands so much as your 'opposable thumbs' that makes the difference.

Sorry, I couldn't resist

Cheers!

it's possible your subconcious was choosing which side would come up. the subconcious is possibly capable of the calculations.
